Re: Squire's voitures
Why have one Morris Minor when you can have two.

Station wagon? FFS, you'll be calling it a "woody" next!
Hope you can use as much of the scrapper as possible.

Re: Squire's voitures
The saloon certainly looks the part, shame it's utterly hanging. Guessing it's been in storage for a while judging by the pattern of the tyre treads?
Hope you get a decent supply of bits from it. Am I correct in thinking the vans/pickups use the short doors from the 4-door saloon rather than the longer 2-door ones?

Re: Squire's voitures
Yes you are correct. Also the station wagons had stainless steel window frames but the 2-door saloons were painted steel, which I have swapped over. Still no movement on the engine, the next step will be to remove the cylinder head, which needs doing anyway given the time its been standing (around 40 years).

It could see the road again in the hands of a competent welder. The front inner wings are excellent and original, its just the usual Minor areas at the rear which have gone and the crossmember. I've seen worse returned to the road.

I might be up for saving the 2 door saloon, etc

Re: Squire's voitures
There's no problem calling a Traveller a Station Wagon in my view. No less a person than Denis Jenkinson used his Morris Traveller precisely to leave at railway stations, safe in the knowledge that it would still be there several days later and his Porsche or E Type still safely locked away at home.....
